Luke 24:38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?”

Insightful questions. Lord, help me to trust You more and more. 

John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Father, may I always sense Your presence and do Your will, so that my heart will not be troubled.

John 13:7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

Lord, give me patience until I reach the time when I understand what You are doing.

Luke 24:36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

The Lord’s presence brings peace. May I recognize that He is with me moment by moment. 

John 12:4-6 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

May my motives be for God and not for myself.

Luke 24:32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

When the Lord opens up scripture to us it touched us deeply on the inside. Speak to me, O Father. 

John 10:42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.

Jesus enables us to believe in Him where we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Luke 24:33-34 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and said, “It is true! The Lord has risen!”

Do I really believe it is true? May I live in light of His glorious resurrection. 

John 7:5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

Believing in Christ will cause division, even amidst our own family.

Luke 24:25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

May I not be foolish and slow to believe. Lord, help me to be wise and ready to trust Your Word!
